It was maintained, and before it fell was followed by a succession of those quarter-tones which only the Arabs have, and which I had thought finally banished from Europe. To this inhuman and appalling song were set loud open vowels rather than words. Of the Two Men, one leapt at once from his bed crying out, "This is the music! This is what I have desired to hear!"
In some century to come, when the school children will whistle popular tunes in quarter-tones when the diatonic scale will be as obsolete as the pentatonic is now perhaps then these borderland experiences may be both easily expressed and readily recognized. But maybe music was not intended to satisfy the curious definiteness of man.
And I have come to thee now with a message from herself: and it is this: Táráwalí the pupil stands in sore need of Shatrunjaya the master, to help her in disentangling the quarter-tones of a theme: and she will await him in her garden, as the sun goes down. And I said: What, O thou red beauty, is thy name?
And it was given to Maga to sing of all that, with a voice tuned like a waterfall's for open sky, and trees, and distances not very loud, but far-carrying, and flattened in quarter-tones where it touched the infinite. Fred very soon ceased from braying with his bellowed instrument.

Their peculiar little trot-trot, and the indescribable semi-tones and quarter-tones in which they cried, "Land-dy-y-y-shee!" were unmistakably Finnish at any distance. The scene at the market was always entertaining.
